If there is something in the blob that only works on 4k then we have trouble. These issues tend to crop up from time to time in different places, not just the kernel. I started a thread[1] here with some of them. For example, Firefox WebRTC with my Elgato Camlink was not working on 64k but it is fine on 4k. Is there any way to report on how many packages call getconf PAGESIZE or getconf PAGE_SIZE during the build? There are not many of these but they have different risks if people are swapping between 4k and 64k kernels. Most packages compiled on one type of kernel will run on the other type but there could be a very small number that have to be recompiled if the Fedora kernel changes down to 4k. Regardless of the packages above, I still think the Btrfs issue is the biggest surprise for people and it is worse because it is the default filesystem now. People can reboot into a new kernel but they may not be able to easily reformat their disks after mkfs at 64k.
